Big bass in a small box

Add deep, low-frequency thrills to your music, movies, and video games with Audioengine's S8 powered subwoofer. It makes the perfect companion for your Audioengine speaker system, or a fantastic upgrade to any music system that needs some extra low-end kick. The S8's custom down-firing 8" woofer delivers tight, punchy bass that blends in seamlessly with the other speakers in your system. Its rock-solid, hand-crafted cabinet features internally braced one-inch thick MDF construction with a beautiful high-gloss white or satin black furniture-grade finish. This subwoofer's super-compact build allows for easy out-of-the-way placement behind the couch or under your computer desk, but it looks so good you'll want to display out in the open.

Easy connections

Audioengine makes it easy to integrate the S8 with your existing system. You can hook your receiver or other audio components up to the sub through its LFE or dual line-level inputs featuring both minijack and RCA connections. The sub's line-level outputs also give you an easy connection to your powered speakers. Adjustable rear-panel controls for crossover and subwoofer volume allow you to easily match up the S8 with your speakers. Plus, a variable phase control lets you tweak the sub's output for more precise bass response. And an auto-sleep standby feature turns the S8 amplifier off when you're not playing music to conserve energy.

Why add a powered subwoofer?

A powered subwoofer gives you bass you can feel as well as hear. Our customers love the depth and impact their subs add to music and movies. We hear comments like "it brings out sounds I didn't know existed in discs I've watched a million times." Powered subwoofers aren't just for big bass that rattles your picture frames; they can also deliver tight, accurate lows. If you haven't shopped for a powered sub in a while, you might be surprised at how small they get. Look for an ultra-compact model if you want to tuck your sub away under an end table or in a corner.

Audioengine S8

Excellent sub,packs a big punch for an 8 inch subwoofer. I definitely recommend this product both in general and to be paired with Audioengine A2+ speakeers which is my setup. 100% worth the money. You have to be patient and listen closely with your adjustments when tuning in the sub. I personally made adjustments and came to a happy medium with many different genres of music which goes without saying.If you were second guessing purchasing this sub just go for it. I happened to get a sample sound of it from a demo sub that was in a store so it was an easy decision after hearing it in action.

Pros:standby mode when it is not in use but still has power to it, down firing sub

Great Product

This is a great audiophile subwoofer, I connected it to my bamboo audio engine a5+ and its a perfect match. This subwoofer hits hard but never fails to provide quality clear sound, even at its extremes. I live in a dorm room and i do keep getting noise complaints, even when i barely have it on, just because of that wide frequency range, dropping all the way down to 27hz. so be prepared if u live in a dorm or apartment but besides keeping your neighbors awake, this is the sub to get. I couldn't be happier with the product and a big thanks to Crutchfield for delivering another great product, right on time!

Awesome

These Subs are soooo good, I bought two. One for work and one for my home office. Work is paired w/A2 speakers and home is paired w/A5's. I ordered just the speakers first and had them for a couple of months before adding the subs. WoW! What a difference they make in the already awesome sound. Everyone who hears them at low or loud volumes are impressed by the sound. If your on the fence, jump in and get these. You won't be disappointed...

Great Sub!

This subwoofer is awesome! It performs better than I had expected. I have the Audioengine A5+ and the S8 woofer fulfills the low frequency range, delivering superior sound. The auto standby feature is also a plus. Overall, I am very happy with this product.

Great Subwoofer

Written By LuisP, Newport Beach, CA on Sunday, December 28, 2014

I added this subwoofer to my Audioengine P5 speakers, and it really rounds the system out. The bass is clean and punchy - not muddy. Plus the cabinetry and style is beautiful, as are the P5s. The controls on the back are easy enough to access. There's not much else you can say about a subwoofer. This one lives up to the hype.

Extraordinary sound - worth the money!

From the first moment I powered it on and began to feel the bass, I knew I had made the correct decision. This sub pairs so well with my AudioEngine passive speakers and Teac desktop amp that I wondered what took me so long! Now my music is great, movies on my PC are better and games are beyond immersion.

Fills out the sound spectrum

Written By Brent, Charlottesville, VA on Friday, April 04, 2014

I added the S8 to a set of A2s for my computer music setup in my apartment and I'm very pleased with the result. When my wife and I downsized from our house (thanks for moving out, kids!) I replaced my traditional 100 watt receiver/amp/speaker/sub setup with an iTunes-based computer music system, and I was missing the deep bass I had with the subwoofer. Now I have it again. I had to reduce the sub volume level a bit so my neighbors wouldn't complain, but the overall sound is now richer and deeper. The setup was easy and the small size of the S8 fits in well with the smaller living room. I got the Satin black model to match the A2s and the Sony Bravia TV atop the dark brown, almost black Havenworth A/V credenza. It not only sounds great but looks great - hey, my wife is an interior designer, it has to look great!

awesome base

I purchased the S8 sub woofer to accompany my A5 speakers. The setup took just a few mins. I know the A5 speakers sound great but adding the S8 made the sound came alive. My wife said it sounded like she was in the theaters. Awesome sound. Best set of speakers and sub I have owned.

Amazing Clarity and Power

Written By Danny, Houston, TX on Tuesday, August 14, 2012

I've had many different powered subs before that are in the price ranges of 800-1000$ and when i got these i was definetely surprised by the power they have. I tested them and i put them on 70% power, went outside my house, and saw the windows flexing from the amount of bass they produce.

Features

Overview: The Audioengine S8 powered subwoofer is the perfect addition
to your Audioengine powered speakers or as an upgrade to almost any audio
system. The S8 powered subwoofer offers excellent performance for music, movies,
and game. The powered subwoofer offers a compact design for easy placement. The
S8 includes LFE, stereo RCA, and minijack inputs; as well as a full-range stereo
RCA output.

High Power Amplifier: The S8 powered subwoofer employs a dual class
A/B monolithic amplifier which is rated at 125 watts RMS and 250 watts Peak.

8" Woofer: The S8 has a super-fast, long-throw, custom 8" woofer
designed for audio and home theater performance. The 8" woofer features an
anti-resonant steel frame and heavy-duty rubber speaker surround for accurate
low end. The 8" woofer is down-firing and offers low, tight, and smooth bass
that will blend well with the other speakers in your system.

Furniture-Grade Finish: The Audioengine S8 features a custom-designed
and handcrafted wood cabinet with high-gloss white or satin black finish. The
cabinet is made of solid 1" thick, internally braced MDF to eliminate cabinet
vibrations which means distortion-free, accurate response.

Placement: This powered subwoofer is small enough to
place in a corner or hide behind furniture. The subwoofer is magnetically
shielded for safe placement next to your televisions. Here are three locations to try out for
best performance.

Corner Placement: Placing the powered subwoofer in a corner usually increases subwoofer loudness.
Typically the front right & left corners sound the most natural, though rear
corner placement is also an option.

Controls

Volume Level: The Volume control is for matching the
subwoofer speaker volume to the level of your speakers. Keep the volume low
when first setting up your system and then adjust to your preferred level
using different music and/or video sources.

Low Pass Crossover: The Crossover control is used to
set the subwoofer high frequency cutoff point, which is the point at which
the subwoofer transitions to your other speakers. For example, if the
Crossover control is set to the 50Hz mark then the sub will play all
frequencies up to 50Hz. All frequencies from 50Hz and higher will then be
played by the other speakers. Fine-tune the Crossover setting
(50-130Hz) by ear for the smoothest blend with your main speakers. The best
setting of the Crossover control will depend on speaker placement, room
characteristics, and personal preference.

Phase Adjustment: The Phase control is used to blend
the sound of the subwoofer with the other speakers in your system. Phase is
the degree to which the subwoofer speaker and other speakers are moving in
and out at the same time. Once you have chosen a location for your
subwoofer, try turning the Phase control (0-180°)
in small amounts while you listen for the most bass from your favorite
listening position. Sometimes no difference will be heard. There is no
correct Phase setting and it is not uncommon for the subwoofer to sound
similar at every setting, depending on your room and location of the
subwoofer. If you don't hear a difference go ahead and set the Phase knob to
the 0° position.

Auto Standby: This indicator LED will be Green when an input
signal is present (music playing) and Red when no signal is present
(power-saving standby mode). The S8 subwoofer will automatically enter Standby
mode after 15 minutes when no signal is detected.

Thermal Overload Protection: The Audioengine powered subwoofer is
protected by an internal thermal sensor. If it runs for an extended period of
time, beyond tits designated power rating, the thermal sensor will engage and
shut down the amplifier. If this occurs, turn off the power switch, lower the
volume level, and wait five minutes before restarting the system. This is a
normal protection feature and does not indicate a malfunction.

Dual Line-Level Inputs: The stereo RCA
inputs and minijack (3.5mm) input are line-level audio inputs used for
connecting your audio source's audio output (lacks an LFE or subwoofer output).
Both inputs are active, so no switching is required if you wish to use inputs
from two different audio sources plugged in at the same time. You will use the
subwoofer's built-in low pass crossover.

Full-Range Output: The S8's stereo RCA
outputs provide a full-range line-level output to powered speakers or another
subwoofer. This output is active whenever a signal is connected to one of the
two subwoofer inputs. The volume level of this output connection is controlled
by the audio input source, not the volume control on the subwoofer.

Detachable AC power Cord: The Audioengine S8 includes a detachable 6'
AC power cord.
